Is Chad Daybell involved in Tammy Daybell’s death? | Forensic Files

[Music] on october 19th 2019 garth dabal heard a loud thump from his mother's bedroom i
just ran over and picked her up and put her back on the bed i said to my dad i said i think she's dead
when the coroner arrived the daybell children say they were told it appeared that tamiya died of natural causes
the daybell children say the coroner's analysis did not surprise them as they believed their mother's health was
deteriorating she would get out of breath very quickly and would get very tired and she started
going to bed very early at night tammy dabell was buried without an autopsy after the daybell family
collectively decided that it was not necessary a lot of people think that your father didn't want an autopsy
because he murdered her and didn't want to be caught do you buy that the narrative is that he
was going no no no autopsy but he was standing there in complete shock traumatized letting us
make the decision if he was trying to hide something you i wouldn't leave something like that up
to my kids if i was trying to hide something roughly two weeks after tammy dabell's death her husband chad debell
married lori valo in hawaii at the time some of lori valo's family and friends became concerned about the
whereabouts of her children seven-year-old jj valo and sixteen-year-old tylie ryan
at this point people close to valo and dabel started thinking that their behavior was unusual
did it ever cross your mind even for a moment that your father killed your mother
to clear the way so that he could marry lori no no i think common sense in a lot
of ways would suggest there could be a motive behind that sudden passing i can see where people
would see that it was a very socially inappropriate choice to make and socially inappropriate doesn't mean
something bad happened though with valo's children still missing police began investigating the sudden
death of tammy davil after authorities exhumed her body and performed an autopsy the debale children
say they were told the cause of death they told me that she had been asphyxiated
what went on your mind when you have police telling you your mother was asphyxiated
it's hard to process but i just still can't believe that he would do such a thing
six months after tammy debell's body was exhumed both jj valo and tyler ryan were
found dead and buried in chad dabell's backyard as evidence mounted against valo and
daebel for the murder of valo's children police also charged daebel for the murder of tammy debell
despite the evidence against their father the daebel children still believe he is innocent
